Please cite this reference in any correspondence with me regarding this case.
Two catalogues of the web mention this case in the 2000's:
One indicates, as coming from the computer catalogue of Jacques Vallée, that on December 24, 1954, at 7 a.m. in the east of Aix-In-Provence "an unidentified object was sighted, but with appearance and behavior that most likely would have a conventional explanation. One object was observed for 50 minutes."
The other only give the date, the hour and the city.
[Ref. uda1:] WEBSITE "UFODNA":
The website indicates that on 24 December 1954 at 07:00 in the east of Aix-En-Provence, France, "An unidentified object was sighted, but with appearance and behavior that most likely would have a conventional explanation. One object was observed for 50 minutes."
The source is indicated as "Vallee, Jacques, Computerized Catalog (N = 3073)".

Totally insufficient information. No strangeness according to [uda1].
The duration of course is suggestive of an astronomical misinterpretation.
